Thread: Shooting and heart rate

  1. #11
    Polar chest band arrived, and already I am noticing a difference. Reading up, as suggested above, there are limitations of wrist based measurement systems. At times heart rate would get stuck on the watch or be slower to come down, and things now seem more what I would expect wearing the Polar H10. Need to gather more data.

    The Apple Watch is actually very accurate and generally tracks within 1 bpm of a Polar H10. This example is a 38-minute run.

    This chart isn’t mine, but it makes the point.

    Any idea what technology Apple uses and how that compares with Garmin?

    You got a Polar strap to pair with the Instinct? I also use an Instinct and was planning on getting the Garmin chest strap. I have an older Polar strap with their watch. I’ve worn both at once and found them generally to give similar readings, but I’ve noticed the Instinct, wrist only, is slower to respond if I change the intensity of activity.

    Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical and Polar H10.

    What I noticed, is that my heart rate would seem to hang up on the Garmin, but would drop if I took the watch off and put it back on. With the Polar, my heart rate moves with changes in intensity.

    Optical HR monitors can be very accurate, but it is entirely dependent on the fit and placement. The wrist is a bad spot because it's usually boney and has a lot of articulation. Running is usually the best case, but introduce other movents and it'll usually go to hell. Watches are convenient but heavily compromised.

    Wahoo sells a forearm strap that is optical and performs well. It's a lot less fussy than a chest strap to put on and doesn't run under a ruck like the chest strap can. You also get good contact on the meaty part of your forearm so it's a bit more reliable.

    “Discussion” on Pg 8 is probably the most relevant; although the whole document is a practical, easy, and quick read.
    Thanks for this!
